Must Be. Accompanied by Added Facilities 4 By Ralph H. Turner (United Press Correspondent) City of Mexico, July 15. By Mall) rtFrom, the operating poin,t of view, American and British oil companies in Mexico are ouTlaing today for the future. More more are they be ginning to view the business of Mex ican oil as'a proposition which is go ing far to. pay dividends for a great many years. "This tendency is plainly evident despite the fact that a settlement of judicial questions with the Mexican government Is still pending. nt is evident from the projected construction of new,refineries, term inals and storage facilities it is re flected in the new era of "welfare" wor*the building of club houses, residences and school for the' com-i panies' employes and their families it gajns, further,(Support by the amount of.ne,w development work, which ^s going forward in the fields For instance, reliable information received by the United Press, shows that on June 15 there, were 159 new wells' in the making eitheri drilling had been started or the wells, were "rigged up" preparatory to drilling A large number of these wells Were "wildcats"wells being drilled in Unproved,,territory. Altogether, .they^ testified, to a great deal .of new activ: ,As drilling increases it must be accompanied by enlarged facilities, forThe, handling the oil. two principal,.companies rePr resenting British interests, the, Cor one. Petroleum company and El Aguila, have concluded a tank con striiction, program which wiil prj viide r-torage. capacity for about, sevi million "barrels .of oil The Corona* company already hae .begun Work In the buiiding of ninety SS.QOQ-ihar rel steel 9#fik8. The ConHnentai MJexican Oil company, representing American canital. has let contracts for twelve 55,000-^barrel tanks. As a place to make one's home, Tampico is no garden spot, so if the foreign oil companies are to retain the services of their American em ployees, they must make life as at tractive as possible. The Transcontinental Company, a subsidiary of Standard Oil, soon will begin construction of a modern club house, with tennis courts, library, dance hall and all the other requj sijtes. of a well-appointed club. Other companies have, planned similar ac tipn, while the Cor'ona company, a British concern, is to construct. a complete., community at, a. edst of several million dollars. The prp gram Includes a new.refinery, ah of lice building,, clubhouse, school build' ing, merchandising stores and homes for the employees., Almost all of the companies are erecting residences and several have let contracts for new office buildings. And while Tampico is enjoying a building, boom, the oil production row8,apace and,the boys out in the fields continue "bringing' in the wells." In the past month two of the. biggest producers in Mexico have been- drilled'. Both are estimated at 100,000/.barrels daily, one of the gushers spouting a stream of black, liquid wealth high into'the air above the top of the derrick. With the Mexican soil hurling its riches to the surface the prospector spurs himself to greater efforts Up in the northwestern corner, of the republic, hundreds of miles from Tampico, a party of geologists is ex ploring the state of Sonora. These "rock hounds," as they are known in the petroleum, vernacular, reprer sent B. W. Marland1, of Pohca City, Okla., who has obtained a concession to search for oil in eight million acres of national lands. Nearer to Tampico, in the country between Monterey and Victoria, oil scouts ..declare, they have found evidences of- the coveted wealth. This, field, geologists say, will not produce the big gushers of the southern districts, but will yield oil of a lighter and .more valuable quality.- Oil, in Mexico, is'being treated as a life-long proposition.
